Panda shifters are the rarest, and most legendary, of all the bear shifters. And Brett Smith is one of them. When tragedy leaves him without a clan, he hides out in the United States Coast Guard, using his beastly, alpha strength to save lives on a daily basis. He's used to getting what he wants, and when he meets a beautiful marine biologist who sends his bear into a frenzy, he can't help falling in love. She's hesitant to let him in, however, and when she discovers that he's been keeping shifter secrets from her, she refuses to even speak to him anymore.

Aubrey Carter is a busy woman. She pours her heart into her job as a marine biologist, and doesn't have time to deal with a boyfriend. But when she finds out that the handsome stranger next to her at the bar is actually the Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saved her life, she's tempted to make an exception. After discovering, however, that he's been keeping deep secrets from her, she goes from curious to angry. She swears never to talk to him again, but she can't seem to stay away. Is it possible that she still needs saving, and that he's the only one who can rescue her?

Can Brett make amends for his mistakes before it's too late? And will Aubrey finally open her eyes to realize that true love is worth the risk? Find out in this steamy bear shifter romance.
